AT&T Alliance Channel Awards: Telarus Wins, Avant Rises

Nordicom Technologies, PrestoTech Solutions and Telarus stayed atop the AT&T Alliance Channel partner awards, with two new companies joining them.

AT&T, whose investment in the channel – especially in the technology services distributor channel – has grown significantly in the last five years, just publicized a list of 66 “Solution Provider Champions.”

The three aforementioned three partners, who all landed in the provider’s top-tier platinum elite category last year, repeated the feat in their 2022 fiscal performance. BCDR Solutions and CC3 Solutions leapt up from the gold and platinum categories, respectively, to join them in platinum elite.

In the meantime, Intelisys dropped from platinum elite to platinum. AppDirect stayed in gold category. AppDirect earlier this year acquired TBI, which scored gold with AT&T last year. Avant moved up from bronze to gold. Bridgepointe remained gold, and Sandler Partner remained silver. California-based TSD ACS Cloud Partners joined the list for the first time.

Telarus has landed in the AT&T Alliance Channel platinum elite tier for the last four years. No doubt its acquisition of Alliance Channel gold partner TCG helped cement its performance.

Program

The Alliance Channel program historically represents partners that do teamed selling with AT&T, though it recently added a non-teamed track. Partners include technology services distributors (TSDs) such as Telarus that sell through subagents, customer-facing advisors like Bluewave Technology Group, and AT&T-exclusive solution providers like Nordicom.

It’s worth noting that distributor TD Synnex appeared on this list for what appears to be the first time.
